Scoala doctorala internationala de istorie conceptuala

Universitatea de Vest din Timisoara
Catedra de Istorie

SCOALA DOCTORALA INTERNATIONALA DE ISTORIE CONCEPTUALA

Proiect sustinut de Fundatia Volkswagen din Germania :
Scoala doctorala internationala de istorie conceptuala isi propune
abordarea istoriei romanesti printr-o metoda interdisciplinara, tema
fiind comunicarea social-politica din Romania secolelor al XIX-lea si
al XX-lea.
Tinind seama de importanta deosebita a proiectului, Fundatia Volkwagen
ofera 8 burse pentru doctoranzii ce vor fi admisi prin concurs in
aceasta scoala doctorala. Istoria conceptuala – deconstructia
comunicarii sociale si politice romanesti este un proiect ce se va
derula in cadrul Catedrei de Istorie a Universitatii de Vest din
Timisoara, partener fiind Catedra de Istorie a Universitatii Tehnice
din Aachen. Coordonarea stiintifica a proiectului apartine prof.
Victor Neumann de la Universitatea de Vest din Timisoara si prof.
Armin Heinen de la Universitatea din Aachen, specialisti recunoscuti
in mediile academice pentru originalitatea studiilor de istoria
Romaniei si pentru contributiile de teoria istoriei.

Anuntul se adreseaza...
... absolventilor de studii de master din Romania si din alte tari,
care detin cunostinte excelente de limba romana si cunostinte foarte
bune de limba germana si care dovedesc un interes deosebit pentru
istoria Romaniei si pentru teoria istoriei. Viitorii doctoranzi pot
proveni dintre absolventii facultatilor de istorie, litere (romana,
germana, engleza), sociologie, stiinte politice, filozofie, economie.
Scoala doctorala va fi administrata de Universitatea de Vest din
Timisoara impreuna cu Universitatea Tehnica din Aachen. Bursa lunara a
fiecarui doctorand va fi de 550 Euro.
Dizertatiile se vor sustine in limba romana si in limba germana
(posibil si in limba engleza) la Universitatea de Vest din Timisoara
sau la Universitatea Tehnica din Aachen, doctorandul putind fi, la
cererea sa, inscris in formula de cotutela.

Istoria conceptuala-...
... promite raspunsuri la o serie de intrebari, nemijlocit legate de
stiinta istoriei: De ce este utila rescrierea istoriei?
Cum se poate asigura imbunatatirea performantei de orientare a
istoriei? Cum isi gaseste locul un complex de reprezentare narativ
traditional, interpretat deja, in orizontul constiintei prezente?
„Istoria conceptuala" tematizeaza atribuiri sociale de sens in context
istoric si descrie fenomenul cultural, comunicarea prin semne si
simboluri, expresia individuala, adaptarea situativa si sansa
reinventarii. „Istoria conceptuala" se intreaba de ce s-au impus
anumite concepte ca „fundamentale", ce lumi de reprezentare se
formeaza prin acestea, ce anume exclud, acopera sau dezvaluie ele,
cine si cu ce intentie le-a inclus in discursul politic si cum au fost
ele lansate public. „Istoria conceptuala" problematizeaza utilitatea
social-politica a termenilor-cheie si cum anume este reprezentat
viitorul prin intermediul acestora.
In Romania, discursul politic este marcat pana in zilele noastre de o
comunicare defectuoasa a responsabililor politici, sau, mai bine zis,
de o cultura a monologului. Conceptele au o functie de semnalizare
pentru propria clientela, insa nu vizeaza o comunicare intre diversele
grupuri socio-umane. De aceea, „istoria conceptuala" urmareste sa
lamureasca tipul comunicarii din Romania si sa redea o imagine mai
profunda asupra conditiilor istorice, politice si sociale a
conceptelor. Deconstructia conceptelor vizeaza constientizarea rolului
lor si stimuleaza cautarea de noi reprezentari, potrivite din punct de
vedere lingvistic identitatii si ordinii sociale contemporane.
„Istoria conceptuala" va permite o relatie mai prudenta in ceea ce
priveste limbajul, vizind statuarea uneri noi culturi politice.

Intrebari centrale:
Toate dizertatiile trebuie sa trateze intrebari centrale, de pilda:
1.) Cind, cum si unde au aparut noile alocari semantice ale conceptelor?
2.) De ce si in ce context reusesc ele sa se impuna?
3.) In ce masura conceptele reflecta diversitatea culturilor
identitare (din Evul Mediu si pana in prezent) si in ce masura au
dobindit noi semnificatii de-a lungul timpului?
4.) Se pot elabora conjuncturi ale utilizarii conceptelor?
5.) Ce asocieri conceptuale se pot delimita?
6.) Sint ele delimitate social sau pot fi mai bine caracterizate prin
termenul de mediu social?
7.) Sunt acesti termeni adecvati pentru a fi indicatorii unei „istorii
a comunicarii" romanesti specifice?
8.) Cum s-au transformat conceptele in cadrul transferului din alte
culturi in limba romana?
9.) Ce diferente sint sesizabile in „istoria conceptuala" prin
comparatia dintre Europa de Est si Europa de Vest, examinind
literatura de specialitate relevanta?
10.) Ce fel de implicare ideologica a presupus utilizarea conceptelor
si in ce masura folosirea lor a vizat crearea realitatilor?

Cimpuri lexicale
Pentru scoala doctorala se vor elabora lucrari de istorie conceptuala
cu privire la campurile lexicale, lucrari ce vor tematiza domenii
sociale sensibile, omniprezente in discursurile romanesti
contemporane. Vor fi abordate probleme ale identitatii, apartenenta la
o comunitate cultural-liungvistica, la un grup social, la o regiune,
precum si identitatile nationala si europeana.

Regulament de admitere
Toti doctoranzii vor fi selectati prin concurs international. Motivul
selectiei o vor constitui expunerile detaliate ale celor interesati cu
privire la temele mai sus mentionate. Cei mai buni candidati vor fi
selectati prin consultarea comitetului stiintific international ce
raspunde de toate activitatile scolii doctorale de istorie conceptuala
de la Universitatea de Vest din Timisoara. Din totalul de opt burse,
patru burse vor fi rezervate candidatelor, iar trei burse vor fi
acordate candidatilor internationali (dintre care unul din Ungaria sau
Serbia). Toti studentii trebuie sa stie foarte bine limba romana si sa
fie cunoscatori ai limbii germane. Cursurile de initiere in istoria
conceptuala vor fi sustinute atit in romana, cit si in germana.

PhD program in International Studies, IHEID, Geneva, Switzerland

Department of International History and Politics (HPI)
Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (IHEID), Geneva

Invites applications for its 4-year PhD program in International Studies commencing September 2009

The Department of International History and Politics specializes in teaching and researching the historical evolution of contemporary global structures and relationships. The combination of an internationally renowned teaching staff, a highly selective and cosmopolitan student body, and the availability of unique intellectual and cultural resources makes studying here a truly rewarding experience.

The Department offers two degrees-a two-year Master of International Studies (MIS) in International History and Politics, and a four-year Ph. D. Both degrees involve writing a research dissertation. Their aim is to prepare students for academic and research careers, and for challenging roles in government, and non-government, media, corporate, and other organizations.

The PhD programme of the department is a recognized and well established platform for advanced graduate research in international history and politics. With research and professional interests that are varied and versatile, the sections faculty offers research supervision in a wide range of subjects, ranging from the foreign policy of major powers (the US, China, Russia) and the international system in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to matters related to national minorities, immigration and nationalism. A unique feature of the programme is the opportunity it offers to simultaneously combine customized course-work with fast-track immersion in the research and collective life of the section.

Each year the department admits a small number of accomplished PhD students with MA, MSc or equivalent degrees from recognized institutions worldwide, who can provide convincing evidence of their ability to pursue an original and significant piece of research to a successful conclusion. Doctoral students are eligible for a number of scholarships, teaching assistantships, and project-linked research assistantships. During their course of study, accepted students can benefit from a number of international exchange programs.

The deadline for application for external students is 31 January 2009.
